About 0.7% of the mass - this is converted to energy, which powers the Sun.

Why is energy produced by the sun when hydrogen fuses into helium?
When hydrogen fuses into helium protons break away. During the process, energy is released.
The sun burns hydrogenate an helium to make what?
The sun fuses hydrogen to make helium. It will be several billion years before the sun fuses helium to make heavier elements.
What does the sun turn into helium?
If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.
What forms when the sun fuses hydrogen?
It forms helium. After it runs out of hydrogen, it'll form carbon. As I recall, the sun begins to die at the carbon stage because it's too small to fuse heavier elements.
Out of carbon helium hydrogen oxygen and uranium which is the main source of the suns energy?
Hydrogen The sun is just made up of Hydrogen 74.9% and Helium 23.8%. The suns high pressure, and temperature fuses hydrogen into helium. The process is called Nuclear Fusion, this releases a lot of energy.
The sun fuses hydrogen into what element?
helium
The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.
Why is energy produced by the sun when hydrogen fuses into helium?
When hydrogen fuses into helium protons break away. During the process, energy is released.
The sun burns hydrogenate an helium to make what?
The sun fuses hydrogen to make helium. It will be several billion years before the sun fuses helium to make heavier elements.
Does helium change into hydrogen in the center of the sun?
No. It is the other way around. Hydrogen nuclei fuses to form helium in the center of the sun.
What does nuclear fusion give the sun?
The sun fuses hydrogen into helium. The mass of the resulting helium is not the same as the original hydrogen. The difference is energy.
Is the oxygen sufficient for burning of hydrogen on the sun?
No. The hydrogen on the Sun does not burn; it fuses to make helium instead.
What is the main source of the sun?
If source you mean, fuel...then the answer is Hydrogen gas. The sun fuses to hydrogen atoms to create helium.
How much Uranium is in the sun?
there is not uranium in the sun. the nuclear fusion is due to hydrogen that fuses to helium
What energy makes up the Sun?
The Sun is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium which exists in the form of highly active plasma. The Sun fuses hydrogen together into helium thus producing its energy.
Tiny particles of hydrogen fuses to helium in the sun?
Yes, they do. Because of the enormous gravity of the sun Hydrogen atoms fuse to each other (only 2) to make Helium.
What element is transformed in solar fusion?
Our sun mostly transforms hydrogen nuclei into helium by fusion, but it also fuses helium with helium, lithium with hydrogen, and beryllium with hydrogen, to make elements as heavy as boron.
